Cyberforge: First Light

Cyberforge: First Light is a free developer build of Cyberforge. It contains only Endless Mode, where you explore randomly generated dungeon rooms and restart from the beginning when you die.

Endless Mode

You fight through the rooms while testing the game’s combat and AI. The build is also a way to share the game’s development progress.

The full game

The planned full game is a top-down adventure with real-time tactical combat, team-based puzzles and RPG elements. Far from home and without memories of the apocalypse, dwarves fight through hordes of murderous robots led by a homicidal AI overlord. You position your team and use tactical leapfrog movement, choosing the right dwarf for each task.

Combat and puzzles

You can switch between dwarves to use their special abilities, including hacking, jumping and moving heavy objects. In combat, you decide when each dwarf should advance or hold position. The AI lets your team move as a unit, but you may need to leave a dwarf behind temporarily to control a strategic point. Choosing the right dwarf can improve your chances.

You progress deeper into an urban dungeon by hacking, smashing or bypassing murderous robots. Loot can be used to forge stronger gear, and you can uncover what happened to humanity and learn the fate of your fellow dwarves.

Co-op for three players

Up to three players can join or leave a game at any time, allowing friends to drop in or out of co-op play.
